NASCAR's public relations office is converting most of its records and press guides into computer files to save paper. NASCAR’s goal is to be the largest green initiative in all of sports. So we are proud to expand our commitment to NASCAR Green.

I think you need to check your owner's manual. For most cars, something has to happen for the doors to lock. These days most cars will automatically lock the doors once started and in motion and unlock when parked and ignition is turned off.

Depending on the search for your query i found somewhere in the forum that on wiring your fogs "power" input to your "status" lights and turning them on, they will feed power to the fog switch which will allow the fogs to turn on once u hit the switch. Hope it will work.

Thanks for the report! Good to find some enthusiasts racers out here. Well, it’s correct to say that the LEAF certainly doesn't make all that great of a driver's car, especially when pushed to the limits.

The new Nissan LEAF has come up with various comprehensive designs. It is more agile than before thanks to a comprehensive raft of chassis changes while it will go further on a single charge. The NEDC range has increased from 175 kms to 199 kms thanks to a series of engineering improvements.

That’s really very exciting! As you are well of the charging station in the trip, taking dinner is good to go. This would confirms charging essential for returning home. It’s all about exploring.

My car is less than a year old, and it read 11.7 V which seems very low. I can’t find the reason behind the facts. Can someone please tell me the factual reason behind the fact?

I was just wondering if there are any ways or guidelines to help and support for how often it’s ok to get status updates? Do frequent updates reduce the Leaf’s range or cause any problems?

There is nothing to worry for running your car air conditioning. It doesn't waste too much energy either, given how efficient the AC is. But the best practice you can try is to leave it in Eco mode when you have to leave the A/C on.

You can washed them up with Scotchgard Fabric & Upholstery Cleaner. They give very nice results. Do wash the entire clothes rather than just the spot. After theydry, add an application of Scotchgard Protector. Reapply Protector every 6 months. It will work great.

I haven’t experienced any tows till the date but may be sooner or later I am probably going to get a flat I can't fix in the field. I think no spare tire is annoying. On facing such situation, I will definitely call insurance towing since it would be worse than useless to get towed to a Nissan...

Thanks for the link info, I got to see it. Probably it would also be in our wiki, as more EV's chase charging stations, we need to develop a decent protocol and having a handy 'are you done charging guide' is useful.

I found the temp bars ranging in between 6 bars to 8 bars on the way to my friends house visit at this weekend without undergoing any charging. The temperature displayed was 125 F. The highest it has ever reached was 8.5 bars after a QC last weekend.

I think Leaf with no subsidy breaks even in 10 years as compared with a new gas car since the Battery lasts 18.1 years.

Seems like you have been scaling all the way with your car and your experience tells that the cruise was awesome one too.
